Mrs. Mom Dr. Wife

From counting heartbeats to counting tiny fingers and toes, I went from the world of doctoring to mommyhood, and it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! I’m so excited to share my journey with you. This blog is simply a compilation of stories that makeup my own. Here you’ll find stories about my day-to-day as a SAHM (stay-at-home mom), my journey through the world of medicine, stories about love and marriage, and some of my musings on life, mommyhood, and medicine. I hope you’ll enjoy and stay a while!

I recently quit my job…and by job, I mean residency. As those in the field can attest, this isn’t something that happens often. Once you start, it’s expected that you’ll finish, regardless of how difficult things get, and no matter the sacrifice. Forums on the topic often advise residents considering the thought to “forget about […]

Ever since my husband and I met at the tender young ages of 17 and 18, we’ve always had the amazing ability to talk to each other for hours on end (Read about how we met here). Our personal best was over 9 hours spent on the phone, talking until the sun came up around […]

If exercise could be packed into a pill, it would be the single most widely prescribed and beneficial medicine in the nation. -Dr. Robert Butler, founder of the National Institute on Aging That single statement was the motivator that finally got me to the place where I was ready to work. Shortly after having […]

Being raised a vegetarian, I’ve long been aware of the importance of what we put into our bodies. As a society, we’re often educated about the importance of eating balanced meals, limiting refined sugars, and cutting back on processed foods. But what about what we put onto our bodies? It’s easy to forget that our […]

Two weeks ago, I spoke about my excitement in being able to share with everyone again, and then I went silent one week later. So, I just wanted to take some time to update you on what’s been happening. Last week Sunday, Micah came down with his first cold 😢! As usual, I took […]

It’s been one year since my last day at work. And if I’m honest, I’ve thought about returning or, in some way, what I’ve been missing, every day since. No exaggeration. Every. Single. Day. I’ve asked myself questions like “What am I doing with my life?” or “Am I really making that big of an […]

For the past two weeks, I haven’t written and I apologize! Hubby and I were celebrating our anniversary, and it took some time to recover. That being said, I’m excited to tell you all about it! DJ and I recently came upon three years of marriage and nine years of being together. My sweet mama […]

Hey, just so you know, I’m going to need about 20 minutes to pump every 2-3 hours throughout the day.” It was a familiar, yet not particularly enjoyable, conversation I had grown accustomed to having with each new senior resident at the beginning of every rotation. I had just finished maternity leave and was somehow […]

This weekend, hubby and I had the rare luxury of going out on a date. Yay!! As parents of a one-year-old, who live hundreds of miles away from extended family, dates, doctor’s appointments, even grocery shopping all take a little bit of extra planning. Thankfully, a close friend of ours, T, was in town and […]

Fall is finally here! Some of the things I love most about this season are the cool crispness of the air, delicious warm drinks like apple cider and hot chocolate, and of course, the beautiful changing colors of the leaves. As much as I love fall however, it’s hard for me to say it’s my […]

So as some of you may know, Micah started up swimming lessons again. Yay! Read about his first go-round here. Over the summer session, it took him some time to get used to being in the water. And that’s putting it kindly. It was more like he screamed bloody murder for the first half of […]
